Focus Program on Nanoscale Systems and Coupled Phenomena: Mathematical Analysis, Modeling, and Applications

April 1 to May 31, 2018

Description

Physical and biological nanoscale systems and associated quantum phenomena are ubiquitous in nature and a man-made world. Today, they are becoming critically important in many key areas of human well-being, including environmental sustainability, alternative energy sources, and medicine. State-of-the-art approaches and methods of mathematics with the development and analysis of coupled mathematical models in this field provide a fundamental ingredient for our better understanding of such systems and their efficient applications. By bringing together some of the world’s leading researchers in the field, this focus program is devoted to the study of such systems, their mathematical analysis, modelling, and applications.

Organizing Committee

Who we are

The Fields Institute is a centre for mathematical research activity - a place where mathematicians from Canada and abroad, from academia, business, industry and financial institutions, can come together to carry out research and formulate problems of mutual interest. Our mission is to provide a supportive and stimulating environment for mathematics innovation and education. Learn more about us.

The Fields Institute promotes mathematical activity in Canada and helps to expand the application of mathematics in modern society.

Everyone is welcome to register and participate in events at the Fields Institute.
